A mum has become an internet sensation after she spent an hour trying to locate a suspicious smell in her daughter's bedroom - before realising the two-year-old had left a poo on the windowsill.

Jessica Brooks, 38, posted her tale of woe on The Unmumsy Mum with a picture of the foul discovery.

The Unmumsy Mum, run from Devon by well-known blogger Sarah Turner, helped the mum’s story go viral, and since the incident on Monday, the post has been shared over 5,000 times, and has received a host of bizarre messages from stunned viewers.
